’s Kitchen Spring Greenery and Fragrant Tea: Homemade Five-Spice Quail Eggs are the Perfect Snack
My neighborhood has a pigeon egg wholesale market, so I can always buy very fresh duck eggs. I often buy some quail eggs, and I always find them particularly fragrant when cooked, plus they're delicious to peel, and they're so small, better than chicken eggs.
The purchased quail eggs are very refreshing, but you must rinse them with water before cooking.
Place the rinsed quail eggs in a clay pot.
Today's spices include: star anise, cloves, and cinnamon.
Place the quail eggs in the clay pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Then, be sure to reduce the heat once it boils, otherwise the quail eggs will crack.
After two or three minutes, the quail eggs will solidify. At this point, add the spices and soy sauce.
Then use a spoon to tap the eggshells to create cracks in each shell,
Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes, allowing them to marinate in the broth. Although the cooked quail eggs taste good when eaten immediately, they are very fragrant. If you don't finish them, continue to soak them in the broth, and the next day's flavor is the most authentic,
You can also use a vacuum packaging machine to package five-spice quail eggs, which is easy to store for several days and also convenient for picnics and outdoor travel. (Photo/Text:lucklily)
